Super proud of the rendering tech we pulled off in Gears of War: E-Day. Getting MegaLights and Nanite where we needed was a huge accomplishment but there's so much more on top of that. Tons of custom tech in the volumetrics, characters, destruction, ray tracing, and lighting

The first game to Ray Trace Nanite has arrived! Gears of War: E-Day is out now - with super charged ray tracing powered by RTX Mega Geometry. Proud of what we achieved with our friends at The Coalition. www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforc...

Behind the scenes look of RTX Mega Geometry with a visualization in Gears of War: E-Day. When enabled, more of the nanite geometry is ray-traced giving you 50-100x more geometric detail.

Gears of War: E-Day is getting RTX Mega Geometry! It will be the first game to ray trace Nanite and improves ray tracing and shadows with significantly more geometric detail 👍 www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforc...

I’m stoked this is finally revealed! Gears of War: E-Day is a graphics milestone - the world’s first game to ray trace Nanite in real-time, delivered with RTX Mega Geometry. Huge thanks to The Coalition for the vision and collaboration that made this result possible. youtu.be/yeMtCvxBiIM?...

Fantastic reveal! Absolute baller move to just show the first ~20 minutes of the game. Feye’s hair and facial animation were standouts for me. Also, love the stellar camera work. My PS5 Pro is ready.

Fly through of part of a Keeper level directly in the Unreal Engine editor. Part way through I turn on all of the game objects the player doesn't see -- it takes a lot to make games work.

I'd like to share @daqilin.bsky.social and I co-authored a chapter in the latest GPU Zen 4 book. We cover the engineering details of implementing ReSTIR GI & PT in UE5's NvRTX branch, adopted in NVIDIA's Zorah project showcased at CES and GDC last year. The book is now available on Amazon.

Very well deserved! As I’ve said, I love how alive the world feels. In addition to the “obvious” 😉 next steps, I’d love to see further enhancements to characters - specifically in facial animation and eyes. Looking forward to seeing how the engine evolves!

AC Shadows is a remarkable real-time graphics showcase. The world feels natural, alive, and I regularly find myself stopping to just watch the weather system do its thing. Screenshots don't do it justice, so go play it 😄.

Also, congrats and great job with AC Shadows! I’m happy to see you all using RTXGI/DDGI-ish irradiance probes as an infinite bounce cache after the second path vertex. This is exactly what I’ve been wanting to see in (more) games since the first release of RTXGI! 🥳
